“The knowledge content of scientific theories has been interpreted as restricted to the ability to give predictions. In this way, in my opinion, we lose sight of science’s ability to subvert and widen our vision of the world.”
- Carlo Rovelli, “Anaximander and the birth of science”.

@mtheriaultsf I hope you like it!
I don't see the contradiction.
Those predictions, and the results of them, are some of the best, most subversive things there are.
@cyrilpedia Thanks. I’ve enjoyed Rovelli’s writing on physics. I’ll look for this.
